3. Zest the lemons (you could use a fine grater or a lemon zester; my preferred way is to use a vegetable peeler then chop the strips finely with a big knife) and squeeze the juice. Set aside.

6. Add the garlic and chilli flakes, and cook for a couple of minutes, stirring constantly. You don’t want the garlic to colour because it will be bitter.

11. Serve topped with liberal amounts of Angel Food parmesan.
Notes: You could use other pulses but I like edamame in this dish for its pop of colour. This dish is delicious hot but also works cold, as a pasta salad. We used birds eye chilli flakes which are HOT! If you’ve got milder chilli flakes you may want to increase the amount.
